SEGA have announced a brand deal with Beyblade X which means that Beyblade decals will now appear in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds.
SEGA are really pushing to include a lot of properties they don’t own in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds as Beyblade now joins Minecraft and Nickelodeon as properties that will show up in the game when it launches in September 2025. You can see Sonic driving a Beyblade car in the trailer below:
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds launches on September 29th 2025 for Switch, Switch 2, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5 and PC. The game is being developed by Sonic Team.
Ahead of the game’s August 29th 2025 release, SEGA have released a free demo for Shinobi: Art of Vengeance on PS4, PS5, Switch, PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. The demo features the entire first stage Oboro Village so you get a nice hearty taste of the full game prior to release. You can check out a trailer for the demo via the embed below:
Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is being developed by Lizardcube and published by SEGA. Lizardcube previously worked on Streets of Rage 4 and the remake of Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap. The full game will release on August 29th 2025 for Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
The latest Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds trailer has arrived, and with it we now get to look at all the customisation options the game is boasting.
The trailer informs us that the final game will release with 40 vehicles, over 70 gadgets and 100 vehicle parts and decals to decorate your vehicle with.
We also get our first look at the Werehog in action who will only be made available to anyone who has pre-ordered the digital deluxe edition. Check out the new trailer via the embed below:

We’ve previously reported on Compile Heart’s new Mado Monogatari game which launched in Japan back in November 2024. The Mado Monogatari games are famous for being the franchise that brought about the debut of the Puyo characters, alongside Carbuncle and Arle prior to their inclusion in the Puyo Puyo franchise. These dungeon crawlers have largely stayed in Japan and have released on various SEGA platforms like the Mega Drive, Game Gear and Saturn.
In a miraculous move by Idea Factory, the latest game in the series will be localised for Western markets as Mado Monogatari: Fia and the Wondrous Academy and release on July 29th 2025 for PS4, PS5 and Switch. The game can be pre-ordered on numerous online retailers now, and there’s also a special edition version that includes an art book, soundtrack, reversible cover and more. Click here to see what retailers are stocking Mado Monogatari: Fia and the Wondrous Academy.
Mado Monogatari: Fia and the Wondrous Academy released on PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch on July 29th 2025.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds has revealed a slew of Nickelodeon guest characters are coming to the game for its September 25th 2025 launch. The first of these are SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star, complete with their own Bikini Bottom circuit. You can check them out in action via the embed below:
SEGA have also revealed that characters from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem and Avatar Legends are coming to Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds as well. We’re secretly hoping that Nickelodeon’s ownership of the Garfield IP and the upcoming release of Garfield Kart 2: All You Can Drift gives the lasanga-loving feline a fighting chance of being included too.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds launches on September 25th 2025 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, Switch 2 and PC. The game is being developed by Sonic Team.
Megapixel Studio’s The House of the Dead 2 remake finally has a release date! The game will release first on PC and Nintendo Switch on August 7th 2025.
The House of the Dead 2: Remake has been previously scheduled for release in Spring 2025 on “all major platforms”, so here’s hoping Xbox and Playstation releases are still on the cards for a future date.
The House of the Dead 2: Remake is being developed by Megapixel Studio and published by Forever Entertainment under license from SEGA. This was also the arrangment for the original The House of the Dead: Remake which launched back in 2022 for PS4, Xbox One, PC and Switch.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds has received a brand new trailer at the Summer Games Fest and with it comes the announcement of guest characters.
The 3 SEGA-centric guests are Hatsune Miku from the Project Diva series, Ichiban Kasuga from the Yakuza series, and Joker from Persona 5. You can check them all out in the new trailer below:
Curiously, a Minecraft crossover has also been revealed. This includes multiple blocky Minecraft characters and a Minecraft-themed track. It is unclear if this Minecraft content will be included at launch as the trailer promises it is, “drifting across dimensions soon”.
Takashi Iizuka also appeared on stage and revealed the game will have online multiplayer with crossplay between all platforms, which is a pretty astounding achievement considering the game is releasing on 7 different systems.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds launches on PC, Switch, Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S on September 25th 2025. The Limited Run Collector’s Edition will be coming much later with an ETA of March 2026.

Limited Run Games have revealed they are publishing the new Mega Drive shoot em up Earthion, which has been developed by Makoto Wada and Yuza Koshiro at Ancient. Currently the game is only available for PC via Steam, PS4, PS5, Switch and Xbox Series X|S, but with the game being developed on real Mega Drive hardware I think it’s safe to say a proper Mega Drive version is on the cards at some point in the future.
